Sirone RIP:
From Downtown Music Gallery email today: "Just AS we're about to send out our newsletter this Thursday night, we have become saddened to learn of the passing of Norris Jones, better known as Sirone, the great jazz double bassist [Revolutionary Ensemble, Cecil Taylor, Pharoah Sanders, Sonny Sharrock, Marion Brown, et al], who befriended us here at DMG in this past decade"

Doug, did you know your playlist is not showing up on the WFMU home page? It still shows the last song played on HotRod's show.

Echoing vk, last week's show was just great, and it's such a good idea to spend a whole show on someone who is very much alive.
And in yet another reason to rejoice in the station ditching realaudio, this particular archive will now be my answer to anyone who asks "who?" when I talk about him. I got too many of those last week at work when explaining why I was too busy to take a break.

I'm deaf this week, can't get my puter to play stream, but logging on in silence to say Happy BD to Cecile's sweetheart. I had that prob with the playlist too, I was afraid it was just me, coz Doug was talking about the comments he was getting. Ugh. And no coffe this AM.

Oh, Doug, I referred my brother to the Yusef show, and he had just bought a Yusef album a week or two before, so he was happy to see it.

I couldn't take it any more so I went out and bought a large coffee. And when I get back, hey presto, the stream is working! I'll never try to do without coffee again.

Congrats to Pat on your smartie. Now she can make a bundle of money and you can live off her.

DrumSum, you have all this on 45s? I am awed and humbled.
